Unit of Competency MSTTD6002 - Apply electronic systems to textile design and production
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply electronic systems to textile design and production processes.The unit of competency applies to the developing intricate textile designs with multiple features using computer-based design programs that enable technically accurate reproduction of the design. Design specifications and patterns will be calculated using appropriate software. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency in applying electronic systems to textile design and production, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
